Enter the following command:
y For Solaris:
tar xvf solaris.tar
y For HP-UX:
tar xvf hpux.tar
tar xvf hpux64.tar (for 64-bit edition)
y For IBM AIX:
tar xvf aix.tar
y For Linux:
tar xvf linux.tar
y For OpenUNIX:
tar xvf openunix.tar

The command extracts all the required files and installs them in the correct locations.
Continue the procedure for configuring the print queue.
P.118 “Configuring the print queue”
Configuring the print queue
After you copy UNIX/Linux Filters, you can configure the print queue.
There are two ways to configure the print queue: one is creating a print queue using kycoloradd, and the other is creating
a print queue manually without using kycoloradd.

Creating a print queue using kycoloradd
You can create a print queue using kycoloradd.
Creating a print queue
1
Log on to the root account.

Enter the following command:
kycoloradd <queue name> <host name or IP address>
y This command creates a print queue using the system’s lpadmin command. It also creates a configuration
file that has the destination IP address or host name. Use the configuration file to change print queue
parameters.
y The lpadmin command saves a printer interface file as the print queue name, and the configuration file is
stored in a file named <queue name>.conf. The interface file and configuration file is saved in following
directory.
- Solaris: /etc/lp/interfaces
- HP-UX: /etc/lp/interface
- IBM AIX: /opt/HS_Series/tap/filter
- Linux: /opt/HS_Series/tap/interface
- OpenUnix: /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces
y Under Linux, the printtool (or equivalent) utility must be used to add the printer into the lp printing system
after executing the est coloradd command. For printtppl utility, refer to the manual of the OS.
Creating a Print Queue Manually
You can also configure the print queue by adding a remote printer manually.
The procedure varies depending on the operating systems.
